    The 16A protection allows the installation to be used without failure for a long time, assuming that the cross-section of the protected circuit is min. 2.5mm?.
    And what did I write in post # 29?

    There are no dangers with proper installation. 2.5mm2 circuit protected by 16A.
    Something is wrong ?
    You're guilty of unfairly manipulating the text, buddy.

    The lack of basic knowledge on the construction of electrical installations gives such effects
    A text that you write yourself is exactly the same
    offensive.


    I do not understand the indignation. I only refer to you as a person who writes clearly and transparently. I did not mean to offend you, but to emphasize to others reading the essence of the problem. He's not manipulating your text - that was a loose quote. If you feel insulted then I SORRY, but I didn't mean it - you got me wrong. I meant you are right - please remind me in which line of the text I was questioning your post.

    Rest in Peace
    Two sides of the topic in an obvious matter.

    There is no point in continuing the topic because the problem is fictional. The author of the topic should buy a welding machine with a cable terminated with a 16A plug and do not fumble with the installation because he does not know anything about it.


    I close.

    Ps. Kettles, fans, etc. have nothing to do with it, because they are receivers with a specific operation and a specific max. cable length with a reduced cross-section. The standard allows the cross-section to be reduced without changing the protection in certain situations.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the suitability of using a 2.5 mm² wire cross-section with a 20A fuse for a device, specifically a MIG welder, which may draw between 30-200A. Participants emphasize that a 16A fuse is appropriate for a 1.5 mm² cable, and using a 20A fuse is unsafe due to the risk of overheating and potential fire hazards. It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit for devices exceeding 2kW, and the importance of adhering to electrical standards is highlighted. The author clarifies that the wiring from the fuse box to the socket includes a 3x2.5 mm² cable, while the connection to the socket uses a 3x1.5 mm² cable, which raises concerns about the overall safety and compliance of the installation.
